What customers said about hair extensions
For 30 years I had never found a hair salon or stylist that felt like home. Until I found Sapphire salon. Kelsey (owner and my stylist) is the type of person who just radiates warmth and light, the type of person you gravitate towards. She’s friendly, funny, professional, easy to talk to, and an absolute magician…
I have been going to Melissa for over 3 years and she has repaired my hair unbelievably.!! She is wonderful as far as asking what you want, how you want it done. Cut and Color is exceptional. And heathy!! The Head Spa is amazing. I will go nowhere else!
I cannot recommend Julia enough! She is truly amazing - so talented, kind, and professional. I recently got extensions done with her and I’m absolutely obsessed with the results. She took the time to really understand what I wanted and made sure everything looked natural, blended beautifully, and felt comfortable.…
This is the best salon I have ever went to. Amy is hands down the best at truly listening to what you want and making it happen! Always walk out with a smile!
Melissa is excellent, friendly and listens to what you want/need. Offers a good variety of services and relaxing environment!
I’ve been to the salon twice now and have had great experiences both times! Rebekah and Madi are so nice and easy to talk to! Can’t wait to come back!
